GRP Pipes

DKM Industrial is able to supply reliable and cost effective GRP pipes in various diameters, lengths and thicknesses, pipes can also be fitted with extra accessories and flanges to connect to tanks, pipes and other equipment. Our pipes are designed in accordance to BS-4994-1987 along with our strict quality control procedures to ensure a high quality, functioning unit. We are able to custom design pipes to our clients specific needs and site requirements.

The benefits and advantages of using GRP pipes

Corrosion resistance: Many of the traditional materials used for piping have a low resistance to corrosion, whether it’s from chemicals, substances or the environment. GRP pipes on the other hand have extraordinarily high corrosion resistance properties. They are resistant to chemicals, water (oxidization), oil, gases, heat, UV rays and unfavorable environmental conditions.

Weight and Strength: Fibreglass pipes are lightweight and exceptionally strong. They are fabricated to handle light to moderate pressure. They pipes are lightweight in-comparison to iron, mild steel, HDPE pipes and other traditional methods. Because of it’s light weight they are easily handled, transported and installed. The qualities listed make GRP pipes much more durable, sustainable, reliable and cost effective option than traditional systems.

Hydraulic efficiency: GRP/Fibreglass pipes have a smooth internal surface which gives excellent hydraulic characteristics, high flow capacity and low friction. They can also be used for pumping and because of their high flow capacity and low friction properties money is saved on electricity usage.

Sustainability: Because Fibreglass as a material is extremely durable very little to no maintenance during the pipes service life is required.

Electrical conductivity: Fibreglass has no electrical conductivity, this will prevent any accidental currents from traveling through the GRP Pipes and causing harm to persons on-site.

Thermally insulating: GRP has a significantly lower heat distribution gradient than steel and aluminium, enabling energy efficient end products.
